The platter shifted along the spinner motor shaft until the lens could touch CDs so scratched CDs and presumably, as convex top side, scratched lens. Has never read the TOC with any sacrificial CDs of mine. I cannot turn the lens in the lens carrier but the scratches , under x30 , seem to be not linear as I'd expect but look like matted micro cotton wool, ie curvy. How is that possible from a spinning CD. Is it that the CD grabs the lens on its floppy suspension and twists the housing enough to produce curves. Is there some sort of home-chemistry optical conformal coating . Even if the coating works only when wet , just to confirm a lens problem out of interest. Not worth replacing the deck ,but has anyone robbed a lens from a scrapped different make/type of deck and transplanted an as-you-find-it lens ,only , to make a goer?
